According to Barbara Rose, curator of Painting After Postmodernism I Belgium-USA, the artists in this exhibition strive to restore tactility to painting, redefine drawing as part of the pictorial, and go beyond Postmodernism using new techniques and materials to retrieve the fullness of painting as a major art that can hold its own with the masterpieces of the past.
